Preconcentration of Cr(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III) and Pb(II) as calmagite chelates on cellulose nitrate membrane filter prior to their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determinations

A method for the preconcentration and determination of Cr(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III) and Pb(II) ions by atomic absorption spectrometry has been described.

A reversed phase ion-paired chromatographic method that can be used to determine trace amounts of iron (II,III), nickel (II) and copper (II) was developed and applied to the determination of iron (II) and iron (III) levels in natural water. The separation of these metal ions as their 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bathophenanthroline) chelates on an Inertsil ODS column was investigated by using acetonitrile-water (80/20, v/v) containing 0.06 M perchloric acid as mobile phase and diode array spectrophotometric detection at 250-650 nm.

Ionen-Chromatographie yon Gallium, Indium und Thallium mit Anwendungen in der Erzanalyse

Summary An optimal separation system is presented for the rarer elements Ga(III), In(III), Tl(III) and the main intergrowth elements such as Fe(III), Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II) etc., using the cation-exchange column Nucleosil SA and 0.1 mol/l tartrate –0.12% NaCl, pH 2.25, as mobile phase, by means of which complete separations of these metal ions can be obtained within 15 min. Under these chromatographic conditions, the detection sensitivities of these metal ions were compared by post column derivatisation using the reagents PAR, PAR-Zn-EDTA and 5-Br-PADAP [2(5-Bromo-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol]. The optimum detection system was 1 mmol/l PAR-0.5 mmol/l Zn-EDTA – 2 mol/l NH₃, pH 11, with a 6 m reaction coil heated to 60°C and measured at 495 nm.In addition, a technique of pre-column washing was also developed to eliminate matrix effects of sample solutions, and, if necessary, to concentrate ultra trace amounts of metal ions. A procedure is presented for the simultaneous determination of the rarer elements Ga(III) and In(III) in complex ores. Tested by analyses of synthetic and natural samples with contents of 0.004% to 0.1%, this new method shows high selectivity, good precision, simplicity and practicability.

Determination of trace amounts of vanadium in air samples with 2-(8-quinolylazo)-5-N,N-diethylaminophenol by reversed-phase liquid chromatography

A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method for the determination of trace amounts of vanadium is described. Metal ions are converted into 2-(8-quinolylazo)-5-N,N-diethylaminophenol chelates in an off-line system. The chelates are injected onto a Zorbax CN column and separated with an aqueous acetonitrile mobile phase containing no chromogenic reagent.

Amounts of 8.0–200 pg of vanadium(V) in 100-μl injections can be determined without interference from 10-fold molar excesses of many cations. At 0.001 a.u.f.s., the detection limit (twice the peak-to-peak noise) for vanadium(V) is 8.0 pg in 100 μl of injected solution and the relative standard deviation at 120 pg of vanadium(V) in a 100-μl injection is 3.5%. The proposed method is applied to the determination of vanadium in rain water and airborne particulates.

Preconcentration and speciation of chromium in waters using solid-phase extraction and atomic absorption spectrometry

A method for the preconcentration and speciation of chromium was developed. After formation of an anionic compound with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CrY(-)), Cr (VI) and Cr (III) are retained on a strong anionic phase (SAX) and controlled elution with 0.5 M NaCl permits their speciation. The retention and elution conditions were optimised, and interferences due to the presence of other ions such as Mg(II), Mn(II), Sn(II), Fe(III), Ba(II), Al(III), Ca(II), chloride, iodine, bromide, fluoride, sulphate, phosphate, bicarbonate and nitrate were studied. The detection limits were 0.4 mug l(-1) and 1.1 mug l(-1) for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively, and reproducibility was 9%. The results obtained for speciation of chromium by the proposed method in wastewaters are in agreement with the values obtained by a reference method for a 95% confidence level.

Rapid automated in-situ monitoring of total dissolved iron and total dissolved manganese in underground water by reverse-flow injection with chemiluminescence detection during the process of water treatment

Measurement of iron and manganese is very important in evaluating the quality of natural waters. We have constructed an automated Fe(II), total dissolved iron(TDI), Mn(II), and total dissolved manganese(TDM) analysis system for the quality control of underground drinking water by reverse flow injection analysis and chemiluminescence detection(rFIA-CL). The method is based on the measurement of the metal-catalyzed light emission from luminol oxidation by potassium periodate. The typical signal is a narrow peak, in which the height is proportional to light emitted and hence to the concentration of metal ions. The detection limits were 3 x 10(-6)mug ml(-1) for Fe(II) and the linear range extents up to 1.0 x 10(-4) and 5 x 10(-6)mug ml(-1) for Mn(II) cover a linear range to 1.0 x 10(-4)mug ml(-1). This method was used for automated in-situ monitoring of total dissolved iron and total dissolved manganese in underground water during water treatment.     

Reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatographic determination of Co(III)-, Ni(II)-, V(V)- and Fe(III)-2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulforpropyl)aminophenol chelates

The separation and determination of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) chelates with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulfopropyl)aminophenol (BTASPAP) by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC was investigated. In the presence of the oxidant potassium iodate, BTASPAP reacts with Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) to form stable, negatively charged, water-soluble chelates. The chelates were separated on a C(18) siloxane bonded phase and eluted within 7 min with acetonitrile-acetate-water (36:1:63 v/v) containing 0.2 mol 1(-1) acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.0) and 1.0 mmol 1(-1) tetrabutylammonium bromide. The detection limits of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) at 565 nm are 0.3, 0.8, 0.3 and 1.0 ng (signal-to-noise ratio = 2), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of Co, Ni, V and Fe in four samples of standard alloys.     

Separation and preconcentration of iron(II) and iron(III) from natural water on a melamine-formaldehyde resin

A combined method for the preconcentration and selective spectrophotometric determination of both valencies of iron, i.e., Fe(II) and Fe(III), down to 0.4 mug l(-1) has been developed. Iron(III) from synthetic and natural water samples has been concentrated on a melamine-formaldehyde resin at pH 5; iron(II) was not retained under identical conditions. The oxidized iron was concentrated on a second resin column. The iron in both columns was eluted with 1 M HCl solution and separately analyzed by the 1,10-phenanthroline-citrate spectrophotometric method. The effect of pH, adsorption and elution rates, and interferences on the developed procedure were investigated. Metal ions that can be retained by the resin at moderate concentrations, e.g., Al(3+), do not cause interference in more dilute solutions encountered in natural water samples. At least 160-fold volume enrichment can be easily obtained using an adsorption flowrate of 50 ml min(-1). A hydrothermal water sample was analyzed by the recommended procedure and by a literature method, and the results were statistically compared by t- and F-tests.     

Reversed-phase ion-pair partition liquid chromatography of chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl) amino] phenol and analogues

The ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography of some transition metal chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PAESPAP) was studied. 3,5-DiBr-PAESPAP and its V(V), Cr(III), Fe(II), Co(III) and Ni(II) chelates were retained on and the copper (II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) chelates dissociated in an ODS column using acetonitrile/water (37+63, v/v) (pH 7.0) containing 0.01 M acetate, 0.01 M 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulphonate buffer (pH 7.0) and 0.05 M Na⁺ as mobile phase. The chromatograms of 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP chelates were compared with those of the chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo- 2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PASPAP),2-(5-bromo-2- pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-propyl-N- (3-sulphopropyl)amino] phenol. With 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP the Fe(II) and Ni(II) chelates were not resolved, but resolution was achieved with 3,5-diBr-PASPAP. The calibration graphs were linear over the ranges 2.0–10.0 ng (10-μl injection) of Fe, Ni and Co and for 20–100 ng (10-μl injection) for V with 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP and 3,5-diBr-PASPAP.

Second derivative spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of cobalt, nickel and iron using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol

A simple, sensitive and rapid derivative spectrophotometric method using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) has been developed for simultaneous determination of Co(II), Ni(II) and Fe(II) which have very similar chemical behavior and appear together in many real samples. The complexes of all these metal ions with 5-Br-PADAP were formed immediately at pH 7.0 ammonium acetate buffered solution and were stable for at least 24 h. Second derivative spectra were selected for evaluation, because working wavelength determination was more precise and spectral overlap was less than in the ordinary and first derivative spectra. Three wavelengths at which the complexes exhibit extremum ²D values for Co(II), Ni(II) and Fe(II) were selected as analytical wavelengths, i.e., 640, 600 and 740 nm, respectively. Calibration curves drawn with zero-to-peak values at mentioned wavelengths were linear between 80 and 2000 ng ml⁻¹ for each metal ion. Concentrations of Co(II) and Ni(II) were calculated from the total ²D values and the sum of the linear equations for these three cations at 640 and 600 nm, after Fe(II) assay by making use of the ²D value at 740 nm. Limits of detection (LOD) for Co(II), Ni(II) and Fe(II) were 2.7, 13.9 and 3.0 ng ml⁻¹, respectively. The method has been applied to tool steel and heater resistance wire samples successfully.     

Structure investigation, spectral, thermal, X-ray and mass characterization of piroxicam and its metal complexes

[M(H2L)2](A)2.yH2O (where H2L: neutral piroxicam (Pir), A: Cl- in case of Ni(II) or acetate anion in case of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions and y=0-2.5) and [M(H2L)3](A)z.yH2O (A: SO4(2-) in case of Fe(II) ion (z=1) or Cl(-) in case of Fe(III) (z=3) and Co(II) ions (z=2) and y=1-4) chelates are prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, IR, magnetic and electronic reflectance measurements, mass spectra and thermal analyses. IR spectra reveal that Pir behaves a neutral bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions through the pyridyl-N and carbonyl-O of the amide moiety. The reflectance and magnetic moment measurements reveal that these chelates have tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral geometrical structures. Mass spectra and thermal analyses are also used to confirm the proposed formulae and the possible fragments resulted from fragmentation of Pir and its chelates. The thermal behaviour of the chelates (TGA and DTA) are discussed in detail and the thermal stability of the anhydrous chelates follow the order Ni(II) congruent with Cu(II) Fe(II)相似文献
